Morning all,

Thanks for breakfast Curt. Happy birthday to Kathy.

Not sure what my agenda will be today. Trying to decide what the next project will be.

The photo of Rick and Star was a nice one of them and the view.

Have a safe and happy day everyone.

Morning Gents,

Curt thanks for the coffee; I'll pass on breakfast.Traffic in Syracuse can be a bear at rush hour;
just be careful. Hope your Dad's apt. goes well.

Mike good luck with your apt.

Tom good luck figuring out your next project; I'm sure it'll be a good one.

Your plans for the day?

It's 32 with a high of 56 in New York; luv'in this weather. Rough night last night. Woke up @ midnight having to pee until my body had other ideas. Let's just say I don't think I've ever been that sick before and don't ever want to be anytime soon. I finally settled down about 3am and slept in my chair with a blanket over me; the cat was all sorts of confused. Woke about 7am and will be in "slo-mo" most of the day trying to get things back to normal.

Have a great day!!! Be well and stay safe.

Good morning from Wisconsin. It's 30f degrees now heading into the high 60's. The winds are calm at 1mph.

Terry felt good yesterday and did speak to the Patient Advocate yesterday who did tell her a complaint regarding treatment will be filed. This will be interesting to see how it all shakes out. A slap on the wrist is what Terry is looking for. The pain caused was unnecessary.

I mostly will be at the weathering bench today. I have nothing to go do or see until 7pm. We are heading to campus to see which team will win the NCAA game to see who becomes cannon folder for the Badgers on Saturday afternoon.

The above is a nice article about my friend and his #1 ranked Badger Women's hockey team done by ESPN.

Enjoy the day

Good morning everyone.

Marina weather: Showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 2pm, then showers likely. High near 54.

Curt, thanks for the coffee and breakfast.
Interesting what the skunks eat.
I would never have guessed that.
Happy Birthday! to your wife.

TomO, happy weathering and enjoy the game.

Karl, another train room day?

Larry, get well soon.

ACLTom, I'll be sure to follow along again on your next project.

Mike, hope the check up goes well.

Greg, just getting to the gym is usually the hardest part.

Ron, was last night better?

Jerry, nice of you to drive your neighbor.

Dave and everyone else that commented, glad you liked yesterdays photo.

Good news and bad news at the post office yesterday.
I checked my packages tracker and saw it arrived a day early.  ;D
I get to the PO and the woman tells me it's not there.  >:(
I show her the tracker and she looks some more but still can't find it.
She gets another person involved and still nothing. :(
Finally there was success.  8)
Can't wait for the PO to be privatized.

There are some nice trails in the area but the rain will keep me inside.
Gym, Costco and Walmart are today's stops and then move a little further north.

A sunset from Tuesday at Pacific Grove.

Morning all, Thanks for starting us out Curt!

Working outside yesterday was somewhat productive. Installed the new microwave and set up Gena's greenhouse inside for the cold crop. The row tiller started on the first pull! Doing odds and ends again today. The fence latch is broken so it has priority.

No modeling but it is suppose to rain Friday so look out Juke Joint.

Later!

Jerry

Morning everyone

Curt thanks for the coffee & breakfast.
Happy Birthday to Kathy.

Tom Looking forward to the next project.

Mike hope the eye appointment goes well.

Karl have a nice.

Larry hope your feeling better.

TomO have a good day at the bench.

Rick great picture.
Glad you got your mail finally.

Morning Dave.

Philip sounds like you have a busy schedule.

Weather in South Jersey cloudy/42.  And that's it for the day.
Yesterday was spent going back and forthwith the neighbor to the Dr.'s.
He has a bad time peeing!!

Today with any luck I'd like to get a couple of hours at the modeling bench.
Will see how that works out.

Everyone have a wonderful day!!  :)

Good morning everyone.

Santa Cruz weather: Rain. High near 58.

Coffee, sodas and OJ are ready.
Breakfast burritos with eggs, chorizo and cheddar for breakfast.

Surprised no one is here yet.

Greg, hello.

Jerry, hope you got that bench time.

Philip, have fun at the bench if it's raining.

Dave, thanks.

What's everyone else up to?

Rained all morning but that allowed me to hit the gym and do a Costco run.
Drove to Santa Cruz.
Rain stopped in the afternoon and Star and I walked along the coast.
No plans yet today mostly due to the weather.

Good Morning All,

Thanks for opening and breakfast Rick. Pretty picture and video. I thought about opening but started chores instead. ::)

Starting out at 56F and headed to the high 70's today. Dad's appointment was a waste of time. Their group doesn't do the testing it's the respiratory group. Now we will have another appointment when they call. :-X . At least the traffic wasn't as bad as I expected. Afterwards Dad took me and son to a good local Mexican restaurant. My go to is fish tacos. ;D

Yesterday I spent 2 hours at the workbench putting together 7 windows. Probably half of that was painting and repainting the frames until I found an acceptable color. I didn't like the color against the red walls recommended by Brett.

Today I have some errands then I'll head to the workbench.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning Rick, ACLTom, Curt and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Rick.  Hopefully the weather improves for you soon so you can do some exploring.

ACLTom, cleaning up the train shed?  That sounds fun.  ;D  Hope it's not too bad.

Curt, glad you found an acceptable colour for the windows.

It's presently 56F and cloudy here.  Yesterday I wrote a post and when I pressed the "Post" button it disappeared into the ether :o , I didn't have time to rewrite it.  Last night I watched the last episode of DTS so I'm now ready for the F1 race this weekend.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning folks,

Rick, thanks for opening and breakfasts.  Hope the weather improves.  Great photos of the coast.

TomACL, good luck with the train shed cleanup.

Curt, sad to hear of your frustrations with the VA.  Mexican food sounds tasty.

Jerry, congrats on getting to the bench.

Howdy Gregory!

Philip, congrats on all the 1:1 activities.  Good luck with the gate.

Howdy Dave,

TomO, was the weathering bench successful?

Karl, hope the weather warms for you.

Larry, hope you are feeling better today.  Bummer!

Ron, hope you have a good day and better weekend.

How is the rest of the crew?

It's a bright morning at 54F headed to 74F.  Rains and boomers are headed our way.

Thanks for the well wishes.  My eyes are good, no change in prescription.  Cataracts are impairing my vision, but not enough for surgery at this time.

I'm heading upstairs after this.  Details, details, details.  I may make a mold for the plaster walls for the water tower.

Have fun,
mike
